• .I began my interest in photography as a teenager. Later in years my interest grew with experience.
   
• As my professional life progressed, I lived and traveled in seven different states and had the opportunity to visit the middle east and the Mediterranean Islands.
   
• I retired in 2002 and moved back to Greenville after living in New Jersey for 35 years. During those years I participated in the Ocean County Camera Club.
   
• After returning to Greenville, I purchased my first digital camera to enter the world of digital photography. I now use Nikon D800 and D810 cameras. I have attended various workshops on landscape photography.
   
• I have been teaching photography at OLLI/Furman with Bob and Mike for the last 8 years and enjoy helping others how to improve their photography.

• I have been involved in Photography in one way or another since my early teens. I progressed
  to processing my own color prints and slides till I moved to live overseas in Africa, in my mid-
  twenties, living in Zambia and Sierra for 10 years and Australia for 6 years.
   

• I continued to shoot landscape and travel most of my adult life. When I retired seven years ago, I took up photography more seriously and have progressed beyond landscapes and travel and progressed to where I have been assisting Bob and John with OLLI and CNPA classes.
   

• My camera of choice is Sony Mirrorless.
